Excellent and accommodating tour guide - Our tour guide Dylan customized our private tour given our parents mobility issues. It also ended up being a very hot day, so he was good about picking spots for my dad to rest and get cool. The drive from Haeundae to Gyeongju was long but comfortable. Thanks to Dylan, we were able to have many family photos without having to take selfies. We learned quite a bit about Gyeongju and its history. He brought us to Hongshi, who served a traditional feast! Delicious!

Joy brings Joy to our stay in Gyeongju - We were collected from our hotel on time by a delightful guide Joy. Joy was so knowledgeable and was able to provide an in-depth perspective of Gyeongju, not only because she is a local but because she is very passionate and clever. She took many photos of our experience and created a short video as well.

Excellent Tour Guide - Tour guide Mimi made for a memorable experience. She’s everything you want in a guide… she’s extremely knowledgable, not just about the history and facts, but the ins and outs of avoiding crowds and the best photo spots. We customized our private tour, and she made sure we had time to do the highlights within the time frame from Busan to the historic royal tombs in Gyeongju. Her car is comfortable too! I’ve traveled to more than 100 countries, and I highly recommend Mimi.

Excellent customized private tour - Excellent experience with tour guide Mimi. She’s everything you want in a guide… she’s extremely knowledgable, not just about the history and facts, but the ins and outs of avoiding crowds and the best photo spots. We had a really great day-long customized tour during a port stop in Busan and exploring the historic royal tombs in Gyeongju. Highly recommended.

Great tour with a great Guide - We had the pleasure of a private tour of Gyeongju with Jason Lee as our guide and driver. He picked us up in Busan in a very comfortable car and drove to Gyeongju, where he showed us wonderful sights. We had to be back in Busan for 4:30 but also wanted to see something of Busan. Jason helped us decide what to eliminate from the Gyeongju itinerary and added two key Busan sights. Because he managed to work around the traffic and crowds, we were able to do it all despite our tight schedule. Jason's English is very good and his knowledge of history and the sights is excellent. He is wonderful company and we enjoyed a delicious authentic Korean lunch together at a restaurant he chose. We highly recommend Jason, Joyce and Peter from Toronto Canada.

Best tour and tour guide ever! I recommend this experience to anyone in Gyeongju - This was the best tour and tour guide we’ve had in many years of traveling! Joy was an absolute joy (😄), she was extremely nice, thoughtful and knowledgeable. My family wasn’t very excited for this tour at first, but by the end of the day they were all very happy and excited! I would 100% recommend booking this tour to anyone visiting Gyeongju. It’s the best way to visit all the most important sites in the city at once and with a ton of interesting information.
